Bmove

Figuring out parking in Dubrovnik was a chore, but Paydo app was super easy. Got the app, created a profile in a few minutes and paid for street parking parking electronically with my credit card. Did not need to figure out the foreign street parking kiosk or worry about cash or spare change.

The app itself looks nice and seems like it would be useful for parking for pay all over Croatia. I couldn’t ever actually pay, though, because no matter which card I used I kept getting a 3DS Authentication Error. I tried contacting the banks associated with three different credit cards and they just said they didn’t see an attempted charge, so they didn’t think it was getting denied on their end. It could just be that the authentication system doesn’t work with Amex, Apple Card, nor Chase Sapp

To get around authentication errors, some hints that worked for me (American). 1. For first name, if your card has an initial for your middle name add it to the First name. So if your name is John G Smith, enter John G in first name. 2. For country, just leave as it is which in my case was Croatia. Do not try to change it. 3. For city, put city and state like this example. Miami, FL With those three changes, the authentication worked for me.

It looks nice, but no matter how much you try it won’t accept any of my American credit cards. Too bad it doesn’t just support Apple Pay, I literally spent 20 minutes entering all my info again and again. This was supposed to save me time but I can walk to a kiosk and get change faster that this crappy company can fix their broken app.

The app works great and is easy to use for parking, BUT … Once you add a car to your account, there is no way to remove it. The only way I could stop being charged for other people’s parking on the rental car I had in Croatia a month and a half after I returned the car was to delete my Bmove app. Hence my low star rating.
